Lesson Idea: Create Your Own Travel Agency for a Day!

A discussion in Curriculum & Lesson Planning on the SpeakWise Indonesia teacher forum.

Set your students' imaginations in motion by having them create their own travel agency! Begin by dividing the class into small groups, where each group picks a popular Indonesian destination like Bali or Yogyakarta. They will research the attractions, culture, and cuisine of their chosen location and then prepare a 3-minute promotional pitch. The core activity involves each group presenting their travel plan to the class, practicing their speaking and listening skills while others take notes on what they find interesting. To wrap up, hold a feedback session where students discuss which destination they would like to visit and why. This lesson not only develops speaking and presentation skills but also encourages teamwork and creativity. For differentiation, allow stronger students to use more complex vocabulary while providing sentence stems for those who may struggle with speaking. Let’s inspire those future travel agents today!
